There are soldiers in the market-place,
The judge is in the town,
And justice stern-faced, hand-made law
Now wears her darkest frown.
'Tis the year of tears and troubles,
'Tis the year of blood and fate,
Of blackened hearths and roofless homes,
The year of '98.

The soldiers clear the way,
The fate of two young lives
Shall be determined to-day.
Through surging lines of clanesmen
The youthful rebels pass,
But not an arm is raised to save -
Stands mute each gallow-glass.(continues on next page)- Collector
